The French, Spanish, Dutch, and English all claimed a part of the area that would become the United States.

Where did each claim? How did they claim the area? What was the goal for the claimed area? How did they respond to the native peoples?

14 3A Road to Revolution: 1754 - 1775 01:47

The French and English both claimed a part of the area that would become the United States. Where did their claims meet? How did each want to use the land? How did the French and Indian War begin? What was the goal of the English for this war? Who changed the English war goals during the F&I War? What was the outcome of the F&I War?

The British had committed much of their resources to winning the war in North America. With the Treaty of 1763, the French gave much their land in North America to the British. The rest of their land went to the Spanish. How did Pontiac's Rebellion change the way the land gained from the French was to be used by the English colonists? How did the British government plan to pay for the war? The colonies rejected the Albany Plan for Union. When and why did the colonies unite during this period?

Course Description

AP U.S. History is designed to be the equivalent of a two-semester introductory college or university U.S. history course for high school students. In AP U.S. History students investigate significant events, individuals, developments, and processes in nine historical periods from approximately 1491 to the present. Students develop and use the same skills, practices, and methods employed by historians: analyzing primary and secondary sources; making historical comparisons; utilizing reasoning about contextualization, causation, and continuity and change over time; and developing historical arguments. The course also provides seven themes that students explore throughout the course in order to make connections among historical developments in different times and places: American and national identity; migration and settlement; politics and power; work, exchange, and technology; America in the world; geography and the environment; and culture and society.
